Of course they do !

No other celebrities have that REAL INTERNATIONAL appeal, not even Oprah who isn’t as known in Europe (with the exception of the UK) got that like them, especially Angelina !

She is the epitome of the SUPERSTAR from Asia to Europe, From the Americas to Africa, her face is very recognizable and she has trenscended the ’single citizenship’. She has this distinctive and unique cosmopolite vibe : she is perceived as an American but also everytime a little bit of their own, the nationals because she is very cultural minded with a great respect and curiosity about the host country she is in.

Angelina has that and you need to go back to the stars of the silver screen to find others who had that, when stars were more international minded doing films in many countries of Europe (France, Germany, Italy to name a few) as well as in Hollywood.

Marylin Monroe, Brigitte Bardot and a few others had that, they were ‘wanted’ worldiwe and perceived as belonging to the whole wide world.

Today, only Angelina has that kind of influence on a very large geographical sphere and the fact that she is known as a talented sexy actress but also has a proven credible record in political spheres as a humanitarian make the combination unique in History and very powerfull.

She deserves it ! She is influential in all those spheres worldwide !

Why the heck are Hellary, McSenile and Bush on the list? Goes to show that the media is losing it too…

Isn’t it a bad sign that nowadays JP’s family private information is getting outside of their house very easily?

seriously first this pregnancy thing which X17 revealed and then now this French trip and where they are staying.I find it very bad sign that now Tabs look like they know something.I hope JPs will find the person who is giving this kind of information to media.

I have now read the article and I see that they topped the Entertainment section,
***************

They topped the Heroes& Pioneers section. I think Angie was in that section for 2007 and 2006, too.

Entertainment top was Lorne Michaels ( the producer of Saaturday Night Live)

Here is their five sections.

* Leaders & Revolutionaries
* Heroes & Pioneers
* Scientists & Thinkers
* Artists & Entertainers
* Builders & Titans

______________________________________________________

Hmm… I was hoping they were just a little too casual with the information and allowed it to reach a larger circle of friends. I certainly would like to believe that AJ and BP know who they can trust to keep their personal life under wraps.

Angie has said she can’t trust anyone. That would be pretty hard thing to deal with. I don’t know if I could live like that.

Lucky she is so fortunate in other ways.

I really enjoyed your post. Thanks!

After a day of bickering (my time zone), it’s wonderful to read that, and I couldn’t agree more.

is brad pitt in france? or only angie and maddox is in france..sorry but no pic of them.she really love mad more than brad and the other kids

hollywood royalty, amazing beauty

All nations committed crimes but the Armenian “genocide” was an idea which was created by Americans and Armenians at the time. Many American historians have proofs! to be continued.

________________________

Those historians even wrote that the press during the war wrote that Turks killed Buddhist monks!!!! LOL.

Unfortunately Turks are being supressed by their government so don’t have the courage to go after this story!

Turkey has many Jewish, Christian and Armenian people in the country. I know that they live peacefully.
__________________________

America is the # 1 supporter of this genocide bull, because this way America’s current genocide plus its “glorious” past (see natives) don’t get AS MUCH ATTENTION AS IT SHOULD HAVE!!!!!!!!

dumb *famous* is supporting coke-head obama??

lovin it!

I think they both deserved to be on the list and since they are a team it makes sense that they are together on the list. .

that cook AKA famous doesn’t have any working brain cells so I apologize to the fans for paying attention to “it”.

Angelina Jolie’s pal Marianne Pearl to be chief bridesmaid?
Adding fuel to reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting set to tie the knot are rumours that the actress has finally chosen her chief bridesmaid.
Brangelina are said to be exchanging vows this summer and Jolie has picked up her close friend, French journalist Mariane Pearl, whom she played in the Hollywood biopic A Mighty Heart, to be her chief bridesmaid, reports the Daily Express.
Joile’s brother James Haven, who it was initially thought would be giving the bride away, has instead been asked to be Pitt’s best man.
When Pitt’s production company approached Mariane to make a film of her memoirs, the 32-year-old actress was cast as the widow and their friendship blossomed.
The wedding ceremony is said to be taking place aboard a 100 million pounds yacht owned by another good friend, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. (ANI)

I can see why you think that but I really don’t like how they put them together. They are united as a family but have separate careers and causes. Of course sometimes they overlap. They do deserve to be there on their own. By putting them together the focus is on them as a super couple and not as indivudials with specific causes. Other couples on the list are supporting the same cause together.

Well deserved! Congrats to them both. :)

OMG! They never stop. They have taken the marrage story too far.

I don’t want Cannes Q&A to be:

When’s the wedding?
Have got the dress?
Cr*p, cr*p, cr*p!!

I would say higher for Angie and Brad.

thanks JJ ;)

(Thanks to Brad Pitt for helping in rebuilding New Orleans. While Politicians talk, Brad Pitt is a man of action. Support the MIR Project.)

In a sign that the city may begin to take center stage if all three candidates continue to debate who is angrier about the lack of recovery funding, New Orleans’ Mayor and Louisiana’s Governor have invited Barack Obama, Clinton and McCain to a YouTube New Orleans town hall debate in September, but none of the candidates have accepted yet.

On his way back to the airport Thursday and responding one more time to his “Rebuild it? Tear it down? You know, whatever it is,” McCain said he didn’t remember ever uttering the quote, and added that:

Our job is to create the environment that if they wish to come back to the Ninth Ward that they have the proper healthcare, the proper education and facilities, etcetera, etcetera.

To save a step, the Senator needs to know that nobody has to tear down the Ninth Ward. That was already done by a massive federal levee failure almost three years ago. And if McCain truly wants to make a statement in support of New Orleans recovery, Everlast and Ben Harper could probably use one more volunteer this weekend from the Straight Talk Express to Penn’s Dirty Hands Caravan.

Nice home.
Hopefully they’ll get the privacy they obviously can’t get here. People are whining about them deciding to have their baby outside the US. What does it matter? They want peace and hater or fan we all know that is impossible here in the states. it seems that its okay for anyone else to raise their children ‘their’ way. Will and Jada’s children have never seen a school and go everwhere with their parents. Tom Cruise’s children are educated through Scientology. The Hiltons allowed their daughter to drop out of school before completing highschool. The Cyrus’ have let Miley run wild and she’s also homeschooled and on tour. So please explain to me why the Jolie Pitts end up in the line of fire ALL the time? Is it because they remind us all of what we could or should be doing? Oprah built a group of homes in NOLA and hasn’t said two words since…in and out and everyone raved! Brad is trying to rebuild communities…has a home there and has remained vigilant with Angelina by his and all haters can do is spew crap. Tom Cruise and his wife were in Shreveport LA while katie shot a movie and never once took a ride up to NO to see how they could help. Instead they bought ice cream and flew in Chicago deep dish pizza for cast members who had JOBS and nobody said sh*t about it. No they only have hate for 2 people who are trying live positive and raise their family in peace.
